I am trying to install a 1.4M floppy on an IBM AT.  The setup only
allows for a 1.2M floppy.  I identified the 1.4 floppy as a 1.2 in
setup, and it seemed to work okay at first.  In formatting floppies,
it would only give me 1.2M of space, which is fine, and it seemed
to read and write to both 1.4M and 720 floppies okay.  However, now
it is only reading and writing intermittently.  It looks to me like
it is a timing problem.  Does anyone know how to install a 1.4M
floppy on an IBM AT?
